“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my pet with someone new. But the experience turned out amazing. They were very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pet looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about animals. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in Ann’s care!! She kept me updated consistently and seemed to really care about my pups!! She also left the house in great condition. Can’t say enough good things about the experience!”

“Lyndsey was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She accommodated my last minute request and made sure to ask questions about my dog’s routines and needs to make them as comfortable as possible.

River Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Janette was amazing with Percy over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent tons of photos and updates, which really put us at ease while we were away. Percy clearly adores her, and she played with him until he was completely worn out. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave him. Highly recommended!

Gracie is a literal angel! She stayed at my house for 11 days taking care of my dog and 2 cats, and she somehow left my house better than when I left! My pets aren’t the easiest to take care of so I left a lot of specific instructions and she was able to maintain their care seamlessly. Couldn’t recommend her enough and I would definitely ask her to pet sit again.

Rianna has been sooo amazing! One of my dogs has eye issues and she had no issues with giving her drops daily and making sure she was well taken care of and the other is a loving attention dog and she catered very well to him also! I couldn’t be happier with how well she took care of my babies while I was gone and I would 100% have her rewatch them 🙂🙂

I had a fantastic experience with Crystal! This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone outside of family, so I was a little nervous, but she completely put my mind at ease. She came over to meet them ahead of time, and they warmed up to her right away. She even brought toys and sent regular photo updates while I was away. So thoughtful and professional I couldn’t be more pleased!
